Chastity Layman

  Chapter 385 Silver wax gun head

  These three Zhonglang generals are all newly selected and transferred by Li Shimin recently, and they are all former generals of the Qin Palace. Although they can't compare to fierce generals like Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Shigui, they were only assistant generals when they went to the east and west.

  But those are all generals who have survived a hundred battles.

   Even Liu Rengui, who joined the army, was specially transferred by the emperor from Ren Gui, the former comfort envoy of Henan. He was transferred to the East Palace just because he heard that he was a talent.

  The three Zhonglang generals are all wearing helmets and armor, all from the fourth rank, which is one level lower than the Zhonglang generals of the twelve guards.

   Cheng Qian came to the barracks for the first time, looking at the generals who are close to the army, he was a little at a loss.

   "The three generals are exempt."

  Qin Lang's complexion was not good.

   "What's going on?" Qin Lang asked.

  Gao Kan, after the famous Gao family in Bohai, is the nephew of the former prime minister Gao Shilian, and it is said that he is the uncle and cousin of the current Empress Changsun, but this person can enter the East Palace because of his merits.

   "Returning to Duke Wei, Lu Ben received the review, family members came to watch, and some vendors heard the news and came to sell their goods."

   "Playing the piano randomly, is this entertainment or hunting? Think it's a polo game or field hunting?" Qin Lang doesn't like this lively scene, the army has to be serious.

  Especially because these sons of noble officials in Luben of the prince are strictly controlled, otherwise, if these people cause trouble, the prince will still be blamed in the end.

  He, Qin Lang, is now the Prince Zhan Shi and the Prince Taibao, so he has to take responsibility.

  Although it is very difficult for the crown prince to have the opportunity to lead the army, let alone lead the army on the battlefield, since these people are the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, they must be managed well.

   "Drive out everyone outside the camp."

   "Isn't that good?" Gao Zhensheng was a little hesitant. Those in the camp were all the children of honored relatives and high-ranking officials, and those outside were all the descendants of noble ladies and daughters of honored relatives.

   "General Gao told me, what's wrong? Immediately drive them five miles away from the barracks!" Qin Lang shouted unceremoniously.

  Gao Zhensheng didn't expect Qin Lang to be so rude, he was stunned for a while, and finally bowed his head.

I think that when Qin Qiong was in charge of the horse army in Prince Qin's mansion, Gao Zhensheng was only the leader of the team, and then slowly followed Qin Qiong to fight, step by step as brigade commander and school lieutenant, and now he was promoted from the forbidden army to the general of Zhonglang in the East Palace. It's not easy either.

  Although he felt that Qin Lang was just Qin Qiong's son, a young man who looked like a young man, but immediately remembered that this was not an ordinary dude, he had been worshiped twice, and now he was the prince's teacher and the first official of the East Palace.

  In the future, he will be his direct supervisor.

  Qin Lang accompanies Chengqian into the barracks no matter what is going on outside.

  I found that although the barracks looked like they were set up, there was no military atmosphere in the camp.

  A large group of sons and daughters of honored relatives and senior officials, a group here and a group there, actually chatted and talked nonsense in the camp, and some even showed off their mounts, armor, horses, etc. there.

  The equipment of these people is also all their own.

  All of them have excellent armor and sharp swords.

   "Blow the horn, assemble!" Qin Lang spit out a few words coldly, then hugged Cheng Qian and went directly to the camp tent.

  The horn finally sounded.

  Qin Lang saw that those sons and brothers finally started to move. Fortunately, none of these people dared to ignore orders.

   After a while.

  Three thousand men and horses were arranged in several phalanxes, and standing on the playground, they were neat.

   "His Royal Highness, Duke Wei please review!"

   Liang Jianfang's account entry report.

  Qin Lang just snorted coldly, and then stopped Cheng Qian from going out.

   "Since it's a military inspection, everything will be based on the state of the war. I dare to ask General Liang, who was also a veteran in the Qin Palace. Now there are 3,000 people outside, what is this loose look?"

   "Where's their armor? Where's their food? Where's their water? Where's their horse?"

   "Since it is an array, then go according to the combat state!"

  Liang Jianfang swallowed, but didn't dare to say anything, and quickly turned his head and ran to deliver the order.

  After cursing and cursing, those boys who had just stood in the queue did not dare to disobey, and all ran back again, and there was another flutter, half an hour later.

  Finally, everyone is wearing armor, weapons are upper body, and mounts are also wearing armor and leading to the school grounds.

  A regiment of two hundred people, five regiments in one government, a total of fifteen regiments, forming fifteen square formations.

  Flags fluttered, armored spears stood everywhere, and it looked like a blazing sun.

  But Qin Lang still stopped Cheng Qian from going out.

   "Your Highness, please rest here for a while!"

   "But the array is already lined up outside!"

Qin Lang said, "So what? On the battlefield, sometimes the formation is set up, but the battle will not start immediately, and sometimes they will even travel for several days and nights with full armor, and they dare not rest. They have to be prepared. So, let them stand up Well, just look at the background of these guys."

  Qin Lang asked Liu Rengui to bring all the rosters of the Luben Army, and then slowly looked through them with Chengqian, among which Qin Lang really saw quite a few familiar names.

   Some of them are famous because their father and brother are famous, and some of them will be famous themselves in the future.

  Of course, there are also many friends who are well-connected and family friends, and many children of Shandong military upstarts are also among them.

   After looking through the thick roster, an hour has passed.

  The people outside have already stood and their legs are numb.

  These guys are all the sons of honored officials, so the armor and weapons they all bring are all high-quality and top-notch goods, which are more than one grade better than the standard equipment in Weiwei Temple.

For example, armor, many guys wear more than one piece of armor, first a piece of iron chain armor imported from Persia, then a piece of Mingguangshan script armor, a layer of cowhide soft armor on the outside, and a brightly colored armor on the outside. silk armor dress, and a large cloak at the end.

   It's so coquettish.

   But the consequences of this, although the defense is indeed amazing, soft on the outside and **** the inside, and can also protect against the cold, but the problem is that these few sets are not light.

A set of top-fitting Mingguang armor needs to be at least sixty catties for the base, and then a set of chain mail, even if this kind of armor is worn inside, it still needs twenty catties for the base, and this is short-sleeved If you have to cover both sleeves and your thighs for a lock shirt, it will cost 30 jin.

  Adding the leather armor and burqa on the outside, it will weigh a hundred catties.

And these guys like to show off, so they have to prepare a horse lance, a horizontal knife, and a set of armor-piercing blunt weapons. There must be different kinds of iron bones, steel whips, copper maces, and hammers. It has to be equipped with a bow and crossbow, and two pots of arrows.

  Qin Langang also asked them to bring dry food and water. The standard dry food is one bucket and two liters of water.

   At the end, there is a shield on the back.

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not bring so much on the battlefield at one time. Even their equipment belongs to the cavalry or officer level. It is impossible to carry all of them by themselves. Qu Jiabing bears the burden.

   But now they are all covered, and they have to stand there with the horse.

   One stop for more than an hour.

  More than a hundred catties, even if it is not carried on the shoulders, but hung on the body, and the whole body shares the burden, after a long time, it will be exhausting, and the two legs are as heavy as lead, sore and numb.

   "Teacher, is it time to go out for inspection?" Cheng Qian felt a little unbearable.

   "Where is this going? Wait a minute."

   After sitting for another half an hour, the sound of spring thunder resounded outside.

"looks like it's going to rain!"

  Qin Lang nodded, "Well, it's good to rain. When it rains, it means that the weather will warm up and spring will return to the earth."

   "Teacher, it's raining."

   "Well, spring rain is as expensive as oil."

   "Teacher, Lu Ben's army is still standing outside, should we let them disband first to avoid the rain?"

"Chengqian, when there is a real war, it is not just raining. There will be heavy rain, even hail and heavy snow, and even more deadly arrow rain, rolling stones and wood rain, and even golden rain. Juice rain boils water rain..."

   "So, what is the drizzle now? Let them stand, today is the first inspection of the Luben Army, let God inspect them!"

   Chengqian hesitated and said, "Is this okay?"

  Qin Lang told him that a real elite team, not to mention the rain, would not have the slightest fear in the face of the rain of swords, guns and arrows, and would not change face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of it.

  The real battle is extremely cruel.

Qin Lang also knew that most of these generals had practiced riding and archery since they were young, and some of them might even have learned some skills such as arranging troops and setting up camps with their father and brothers, but this does not mean that they are excellent and qualified soldiers.

  The group of people outside now are at best a group of military enthusiasts, a group of rabble.

Regardless of the fact that each of them has learned a lot of military knowledge, they are even better equipped than the other, and their riding and shooting skills are also quite strong, but thousands of people are randomly selected from the more than 600 zhechong mansions in the Tang Dynasty to form an army. , One-on-one to a real battle.

  Qin Lang dared to say that the failure rate of Lu Ben in front of him would exceed 90%.

What is more needed in war is cooperation, to be able to form a battle formation, and to exert the power of an army formation in which one plus one is greater than one, rather than relying on individual bravery to fight alone there. , not a war.

The rain is getting heavier.

  The rain in early spring is still very cold.

  The thick armor on the Luben sergeants was drenched by the rain, cold and heavy.

  Many people started to complain dissatisfiedly, but no one dared to take a step to leave here. They knew that Qin Lang sitting in the big tent in front was not easy to mess with.

  Prince Chengqian and the others are not afraid, he is only ten years old.

   But Qin Lang's reputation is too great, although many Lu Ben are much older than Qin Lang, but no one dares to underestimate a prestigious Qin Lang.

  Now they just hope that Qin Lang will stop torturing them, and no one dares to disobey Qin Lang's order.

   "Teacher, they have been drenched in the rain for half an hour!"

   "It's still early."

  Qin Lang enjoyed the military meals brought by the cooks in his tent, but still did not issue an order to disband.

  Finally, a sergeant couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.

  Generals Gao Kan, Liang Jianfang, and Gao Zhensheng came several times to intercede.

  Qin Lang was unmoved by the wet three generals.

   "How many have fallen? On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes. After a fierce battle, at least 20% of the damage will be lost!"

  The three of them had no choice but to withdraw, and returned to the front of the formation to continue standing in the rain.

   More and more people fell.

  Qin Lang finished his meal, but he was drinking tea from a teacup while admiring the spring rain.

  It's getting late.

  The Luben army has been standing for four hours, and it has been rained for two hours. More than half of the Luben army fell to the ground unable to stand.

   Those who fainted were dragged into the tent to rest, and those who were not fainted took off their equipment and continued to stand.

  Liu Rengui persuaded in a low voice, "Mr. Wei, it's getting dark, and the spring rain is freezing cold. Don't freeze the army in Luben."

  Qin Lang raised his eyes to look at the dark sky.

   "Okay, disband, that's all for today."

  The order to disband was passed, and all Lu Ben breathed a sigh of relief.

  Many people were so numb that they couldn't lift their legs. They helped each other and helped each other back to the tent, only to find that the tent had prepared hot **** soup and steamed cakes.

   Haven't waited for these people to catch their breath.

  The military order was passed down again.

  Tomorrow at the beginning of the day (five o'clock in the morning) there will be a roll call on the playground, everyone will be fully armed, and those who arrive late by mistake will be given 20 sticks!

   There was a series of screams.

  The whole barracks was in mourning!
